* If player rides a Banshee with full speed before the cutscene is triggered, there's a chance that the player will die when the cutscene begins.

* Despite the doors being locked, it's possible to enter the rooms where the Pulse Generator are located in Two Betrayals. This can be done by forcing yourself through the doors by ejecting from a Banshee, with the hatch facing the locked door.
